Retreat of the week: Healthfulness Yoga Retreat on the beach in St Lucia, 28th February – 7th March

Let the Caribbean sea’s waves wake you up in the morning and put you to sleep at night. Eat the freshest locally grown produce from the town and taste the catch of the day from the fisherman from the bay. Start you day with a revitalizing yoga practice and build your day with inspiring workshops, classes and trips. Or opt for quiet time journaling, painting or skinny dipping in the pool in the private villa.

Our healthfulness retreat on the beach in St Lucia takes place in a private sea view villa in Soufriere. Soufriere town is rich in history and was once the first capital during French colonial rule and it shows. All the famous sights and treasures are situated here (The Pitons, Diamond Falls, Botanical gardens etc). You’ll also see original colourful creole style wooden houses in some of the streets and old estate houses that have mainly been renovated to boutique hotels.

The French influence is still very dominant on the island considering it was under British rule until independence in 1979. English is the official language, however French Creole is spoken by most people in St Lucia. All the towns and districts are French in name and the local cuisines all have a French influences.
